Arriving at the rented room, Amar went straight into his room and sat on the edge of the bed. Amar reached into the cell phone in his pants pocket and began to contact his parents. Amar can't wait to tell his parents about his relationship with Aulia.
Tut's... Tut's... Tut. (connecting).
Usman: "Assalamu'alaikum son"
Amar: "Wa'alaikumsalam father...how are you and mom?"
Usman: "Alhamdulillah.your father and mother are fine, son. How's yours?"
Amar : "Alhamdulillah... Amar is fine too, Dad. Where's dad's mom?"
Usman: "Your mother is asleep. What about your job, son? Everything's good, right?"
Amar: "Alhamdulillah Amar's work is all good. Oh yeah dad, actually Amar called dad because there's something that Amar wants to tell dad"
Usman: "What's up, son?"
Amar: "Amar has found a woman that Amar likes well. And thank God he loved Amar. We've been through ta'aruf for a month..."
Usman: "Ta'aruf?? Why are you just now telling me son?"
Amar: "Sorry, Amar can tell you now. Because now Amar is convinced well, that he is the soul mate of Amar. Amar just arrived at his parents' house. And his parents welcomed Amar very well. Amar is convinced that they also like Amar"
Usman : "Alhamdulillah... Who is that girl, son? Where does she live?"
Amar: "His name is Aulia. He lives in Pondok Indah. Aulia is a famous model and artist father. His parents were also successful entrepreneurs in America"
Usman: "What?? The artist?? How do you get to know an artist?"
Amar: "Aulia is Esha's friend's father. I knew him when I was witness to Esha and Raffi's wedding. Aulia is Raffi's ex-wife"
Usman: "So you mean Aulia is a widow?"
Amar: "Yes, father. But Amar didn't bother about it. The important thing is that Aulia is a good woman and a sholehah. And he's willing to accept Amar for who it is..."
Usman: "Dad wonder son, why would a famous and wealthy artist like a young man like you?"
Amar: "Amar doesn't know father either. Maybe it was God who moved our hearts. Amar was very grateful to God because Aulia had chosen Amar's father. Amar asks for the blessing of father and mother.
Usman: "If you love each other, the blessing of father and mother will always be with you son"
Amar: "Thank you dad"
Usman: "When you want to meet Aulia, you get to know each other"
Amar: "Then father and mother to Jakarta only. Later you can be in touch with Aulia's parents. His parents are in Jakarta"
Usman: "Let's talk to your mother..."
Amar: "Okay dad. Amar will wait for news from father. Then Amar hang up the phone first. Assalamualaikum"
Usman: "Wa'alaikumsalam"
Amar ended his call. His heart was relieved to have told his parents. Amar put his cell phone on the table and stepped into his wardrobe. Amar opened the closet and took a ring box in the drawer.
Amar sat on the edge of the bed and opened the ring box. Amar smiled at the shape of a gold ring his mother gave him. Initially the ring wants Amar to use to propose to Esha. But now, Amar has found Aulia. Amar wanted to put the ring on Aulia's ring finger.
"May this ring fit on your ring finger... Aulias. And hope you like it"
Amar kept the ring back in his closet. Then Amar laid his body on the bed.
"O Allah, may You facilitate all the affairs of the servant... Aamiin" Amar's prayer in the heart.
Amar closed his eyes until he fell asleep.
*****
Two days later, Amar got word that his parents were going to Jakarta soon. They wanted to meet Aulia as well as her parents. Amar was very happy to hear that. Amar immediately sent a message via whatsapp to Aulia to tell this happy news.
Amar : Assalamu'alaikum Rome...
Aulia : Wa'alaikumsalam.
Amar: Lia, I just got word from my parents. This afternoon God willing they will go to Jakarta. They're eager to meet you.
Aulia : Thank God... Lia also wanted to meet them. Please let Lia know as soon as they get to Jakarta! God willing Lia will meet them.
Amar: Thank you Lia. Assalamu'alaikum's chat.
Aulia : Wa'alaikumsalam.
Aulia approached her parents at the dinner table. Aulia sat down to join them.
"Ma, Pa, this afternoon Amar's parents will leave for Jakarta. Amar says his parents want to see Lia"
"Good dong dear. Tomorrow you meet them so they can get to know you and you can also get to know them." said Mr. Mirza.
"Yes Pa. Insha Allah tomorrow Lia will meet them"
"Tomorrow you bring something for Amar's parents" said Bu Kania.
"Yes Ma"
Aulia had breakfast with her parents.
*****
Tonight, Amar left for Pulo Gadung terminal to pick up his parents by taking an online taxi. A few minutes later, Amar arrived at the terminal. Amar told the taxi driver to wait for him. Amar got off the taxi. Amar let his eyes look for the figure of his parents. Amar smiled as he saw his parents sitting waiting for him. Amar approached them.
"Assalamu'alaikum father, mother"
"Wa'alaikumsalam nak"
Mr. Usman and Ms. Aisyah looked very happy when they saw Amar. Amar kissed his parents' hands.
"Amar misses mom and dad"
"Dad and mom are also missing you son"
Amar hugged Mr. Usman and Ms. Aisyah in turn. Then Amar took his parents back to his contract.
Until rented, Amar sent a message via whatsapp to Aulia.
Amar: Assalamu'alaikum Lia. Thank God my parents arrived in Jakarta safely. I just picked them up at the terminal. And now we have arrived at the contract.
Aulia : Wa'alaikumsalam. Alhamdulillah.. tomorrow morning insha Allah Lia will come to the contract to meet them.
Amar: Thank you Lia. We will wait for your arrival. Assalamu'alaikum's chat.
Aulia : Wa'alaikumsalam.
*****
The next day after breakfast, Aulia asks Mr. Mirza and Ms. Kania for permission to meet Amar and her parents.
"Yes dear" said Mr. Mirza.
"Let the Imam drive you dear" said Ms. Kania.
"No Ma, Lia can be alone"
"Yes already, heart at heart on the way dear"
Aulia was driving her car at medium speed towards Amar's contract. Aulia stopped by the cake shop for a brownie, after which she continued on her way. After traveling for an hour, Aulia arrived at Amar's contract. Aulia got out of her car. His heart was pounding with thump as this was the first time he would meet Amar's parents. Amar came out from inside to greet Aulia.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Aulia said, smiling at Amar.
"Wa'alaikumsalam Lia, come on please come in!" sahut Amar's.
Amar and Aulia went inside. Mr. Usman and Ms. Aisyah were already waiting in the living room. Then Amar introduced Aulia to his parents.
"Dad, mother, this is Aulia..."
"Lia, it's my mom and dad..."
"Assalamu'alaikum Sir, Ma'am" said Aulia while kissing the hands of Mr. Usman and Ms. Aisyah.
"Wa'alaikumsalam"
"Waah..you are so beautiful, son of Aulia" added Ms. Aisyah.
"Thank you Mom"
"Let's sit down, son of Aulia" cried Mr. Usman.
Aulia and Amar sat opposite Usman and Aisyah.
"Oh yes sir, Mom, this is Lia bringing brownies for father and mother" said Aulia while putting a plastic bag containing brownies on the table.
"Thank you, Aulia"
Ms. Aisyah also brought the cake to the kitchen and made drinks.
"Son Aulia, my father and mother thanked me for taking the time to meet us here. We are very happy to meet with Aulia's son" Mr. Usman said.
"Lia who should be grateful because the father and mother have come a long way to Jakarta to meet with Lia"
"Son Aulia, can you ask Aulia something?"
"Please Sir"
"Did Aulia really like Amar?"
Aulia was silent for a moment while staring at Amar. Amar also brushed off his smile. Aulia turned her eyes towards Usman.
"Yes Sir. I like Amar"
"Then what makes Aulia like Amar?"
"I like Amar because he's a good man and a sholeh man"
"Will Aulia have no regrets? Amar is just an ordinary man. He's not a rich man's son"
"God willing I will not regret Sir. I like Amar for who it is. Nor do I judge a person by his wealth"
"You're glad to hear that, son of Aulia. Now I am convinced that Amar's choice is right. You're a good girl, Aulia..."
"If you really love each other and you intend to continue to the marriage stage, I bless you"
"Mother also bless you" said Ms. Aisyah who emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray of 4 cups of warm tea and cake.
"Thank you sir, Mom" said Aulia, smiling with relief.
"Son Aulia, I made you some warm tea. Come on, drink it!"
"Thank you Mom"
They also drank their tea.
"Tell your parents, God willing, tomorrow we'll be in touch with them for Aulia" Mr. Usman said.
"Yes sir, Lia will tell you later"
Amar was relieved that her parents liked Aulia. Amar and Aulia were very grateful to God because they had the green light from their parents.
